Understanding molecular processes using electrochemical methods offers a detailed compendium of techniques for molecular analysis. The book considers step and sweep techniques, scanning electrochemical microscopy, spectroelectrochemical techniques, electrochemiluminescence, and scanning probe techniques. It also explores COSMOL Multiphysics simulation, electroanalysis in biomedical and clinical applications, and future prospects for electrochemical techniques. Chapters focus on evaluating redox reactions, biological interactions, kinetics, quorum sensing, biofilm formation, surface modification and more molecular aspects. This volume offers a deep-dive into the fundamental principles behind the latest electrochemical techniques, equipping researchers with practical guidance for their own experiments. This acts as an ideal reference for researchers working across a range of disciplines including molecular biology, bioanalytical chemistry, biomedical science and translational medicine.
